Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Sampdoria will be aiming to put an end to their eight-game winless run when they take on Cosenza on Matchday 10. La Samp are eyeing their only second win of the process and the bookies see them as slim favourites to win Saturday’s clash. Experienced forward Fabio Borini should keep his place in the starting XI after finding the net in a 1-1 draw with Ascoli, while both Petar Stojanovic and Alex Ferrari are out of contention with injuries. Midfielder Leonardo Benedetti faces race against the clock to bet fit for the match.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Pisa and Lecco, but beating Sampdoria in Genoa is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. As for the away team, midfielder Federico Zuccon is a major doubt.
